Pakistan: Pakistan has urged the international community to keep a close watch on human rights violations against Indian minorities. The call was made by First Secretary at Pakistan’s Permanent Mission to the UN, Zulifqar Ali, during the Meeting of the Preparatory Committee for the UN Conference of Plenipotentiaries on Prevention and Punishment of Crimes against Humanity.
According to Radio Pakistan, Zulfiqar Ali stated that Pakistan would continue to extend political and moral support to the freedom struggle of the Kashmiri people. He also called for a UN-supervised plebiscite in Jammu and Kashmir, in accordance with UNSC resolutions and the wishes and aspirations of the Kashmiri people.
He emphasized that manipulating words will not legitimize India’s occupation of Kashmir, nor would the marginalization of Indian minorities benefit the situation.
